Do stay tuned to Sportskeeda for our continued coverage of all of those games. Until then, this is Sooryanarayanan Sesha taking your leave and thanking you for joining us today. Good night and see you around!

Match summary: Bugibba Blasters beat American University of Malta by 6 wickets.

Gaurav Maithani 54* (28) | Devendra Negi 2/24 (2)
Abhishek Prajapati 27 (17) & 2/12 (2) | Mehboob Ali 1/9 (2)

That was quite a chase wasn't it? And it came down to the skipper taking it upon himself to do the needful and absorb all the pressure. And didn't Gaurav Maithani step up or what!

Chasing 87, the Blasters didn't get going with both openers prized out inside the Powerplay. The AUM bowlers - Mehboob Ali in particular - were on the money from the outset and got their radar absolutely spot on. Easy runs were not on offer and it was hard work initially for Maithani and Narendar Negi.

The latter switched gears with a six and four in the fifth over to signal the acceleration and it was Maithani who then unleashed an assortment of slog sweeps. In fact, such was the damage he inflicted that at one stage, the probability of the match ending well before the final over began was quite high.

But the AUM bowlers stretched it with Jitesh Patel leading from the front with an outstanding penultimate over. Maithani then farmed the strike in the last and backed himself to finish it off his own blade. And finish he did in grand fashion, as he clubbed two massive hits to vindicate his decision and ensure that the two teams share the spoils at the end of it all.

How about that to take it upon yourself and come up clutch! Take a bow, Gaurav Maithani! That was a bold innings of some kind and in the end, the Bugibba Blasters prevail!

9.5 Zoheb Malik to Gaurav Maithani, SIX! GAURAV MAITHANI IS CAPTAIN MARVEL! Take a bow, skipper! Another length delivery outside off stump and Maithani unleashes his umpteenth slog sweep for the day by cannoning it a mile and a half over long on who can only watch it sail over the fence. Oh he took it upon himself but Maithani's confidence in his own abilities pay off. Brings up his half-century as well as Bugibba Blasters win by 6 wickets with a delivery to spare!

Talk about that for confidence! 4 needed off 2 deliveries now!

9.4 Zoheb Malik to Gaurav Maithani, SIX! OH YOU RIPPER! How did he connect that one? It was on a length on off stump and anticipating it rightfully so, Maithani walks down the pitch and sits on one knee to heave it across the line over cow corner as he sends a towering hit traveling miles back!

Maithani is a brave man here. Is he doing the right thing though? He simply has to clear the ropes now!

9.3 Zoheb Malik to Gaurav Maithani, length delivery on off stump and Maithani sits low to drag it to deep square leg. He decides to farm the strike again!

9.2 Zoheb Malik to Gaurav Maithani, FARMS THE STRIKE! Half-tracker on off stump and he heaves a pull flat to deep mid-wicket who collects it cleanly on the bounce. That means that he's not keen on taking the run!

9.1 Zoheb Malik to Gaurav Maithani, DOT BALL! Loops up a short one outside off stump and Maithani rocks back to flat-bat it on the bounce to the bowler. Priceless dot!

Zoheb Malik [1.0-0-14-0] to bowl the final over of the game

Fantastic over from the skipper and he has taken this into a really even footing now. Bugibba Blasters require 10 runs off the final over. Dare we say - Golden Ball, anyone?

8.6 Jitesh Patel to Gaurav Maithani, very full at the stumps, Maithani kicks his front leg out of the way and swipes it off the toe-end to deep backward square leg

It's been a superb over until now from Jitesh!

8.5 Jitesh Patel to Gaurav Maithani, OOH! Back of a length delivery that skids off the deck well outside off stump, Maithani uses his bottom hand looking to cut fiercely but cannot put bat to ball

It's getting tense now!

8.4 Jitesh Patel to Pradeep Puppala, dipping slower low full toss on leg stump, Puppala closes the face of his bat and works it to deep square leg. Maithani must find the fence now!

8.3 Jitesh Patel to Gaurav Maithani, width offered on a back of a length radar, Maithani sticks his bat out to steer it to point whose dive restricts it to a single

8.2 Jitesh Patel to Pradeep Puppala, full on off stump, Puppala comes forward and clips it to deep mid-wicket and does what he has to - get his skipper back on strike!
